[OpenSIPS-Users] Some strange things with starting opensips

[Dave Singer]

Adjust STARTOPTIONS to include "-p /var/run/opensips.pid" ( replace with the
path to where you want the pid file )

There are other options you may want to adjust for starting opensips. Note
that some options are overridden if set in the config file like listen
address. Here is the list of options you can see when you run opensips with
the help option -h
<path to opensips base install>/sbin/opensips -h
version: opensips 1.6.4-tls (x86_64/linux)
Usage: opensips -l address [-l address ...] [options]
Options:
    -f file      Configuration file (default
/opt/opensips/etc/opensips/opensips.cfg)
    -c           Check configuration file for errors
    -C           Similar to '-c' but in addition checks the flags of
exported
                  functions from included route blocks
    -l address   Listen on the specified address/interface (multiple -l
                  mean listening on more addresses).  The address format is
                  [proto:]addr[:port], where proto=udp|tcp and
                  addr= host|ip_address|interface_name. E.g: -l locahost,
                  -l udp:127.0.0.1:5080, -l eth0:5062 The default behavior
                  is to listen on all the interfaces.
    -n processes Number of child processes to fork per interface
                  (default: 8)
    -r           Use dns to check if is necessary to add a "received="
                  field to a via
    -R           Same as `-r` but use reverse dns;
                  (to use both use `-rR`)
    -v           Turn on "via:" host checking when forwarding replies
    -d           Debugging mode (multiple -d increase the level)
    -D           Do not fork into daemon mode
    -E           Log to stderr
    -T           Disable tcp
    -N processes Number of tcp child processes (default: equal to `-n`)
    -W method    poll method
    -V           Version number
    -h           This help message
    -b nr        Maximum receive buffer size which will not be exceeded by
                  auto-probing procedure even if  OS allows
    -m nr        Size of shared memory allocated in Megabytes
    -w dir       Change the working directory to "dir" (default "/")
    -t dir       Chroot to "dir"
    -u uid       Change uid
    -g gid       Change gid
    -P file      Create a pid file
    -G file      Create a pgid file
